In this second interview in a series with DM Johnson, we discuss extra-Biblical evidence, or evidence of the Bible’s truthfulness from sources outside the Bible. Dave and I talk about the following points:

New Testament figures who are attested in outside sources
Writers who chronicled the events surrounding Jesus’ death and the darkness which followed
Evidence from Josephus
The methods and norms of historical documentation
Early Christian writers
Similarities between these outside sources and events within the Bible

I hope you’ll join us as we discuss the scholarship and evidence surrounding the Bible! These outside sources provide additional evidence that the Bible is in fact a record of history.

We also invite you to read and study the Bible for yourself, and pray to know of its truthfulness.

You can find the complete transcript and audio file here.
